This, incidentally, is partly why I stopped arguing with people on Twitter. You never get anywhere. It becomes this kind of grotesque nerd gladiatorial match in which pithy condemnation replaces logic or evidence.
You can 'win', quite easily, by making fire-and-brimstone condemnations and appealing to your tribe. But both of you always come out of it looking worse than you did before. No-one ever really wins.
It's not easy - every day soneone will write something grotesquely unfair or cynical and you have to let it go. But you do come out of it a happier person.
I'll still retweet and condemn someone being an arse, as long as I feel I'm punching up - ministers, politicians, newspapers etc. But even then, I won't engage in debate. That's for public events, TV and radio, podcasts etc, where something can be achieved.
It's important to understand what forums are good at. For me, Twitter is for finding clever people and reading what they have to say, funding funny people and having them make you laugh, and keeping up with news. It's great for that. For debate? Nope, not for shit.
Oh, I should probably add: it's good for finding people into the same weird esoteric shut as you. No-one in my real life wants to discuss post-crisis DC continuity with me. But HERE I can find all the maladjusted freaks and get right down into the details.
Meanwhile you can always rely on friends to provide constructive criticism on WhatsApp.
